Clorica is the butler in training and will give you Apple Pie, saying Applie Pie... Always been a favourite of mine, too. You will not be able to save it, but will be forced to eat it. The game effectively will begin at 8.00 a.m. on 2 Spring.
When you go outside, you will be introduced to Vishnal, who will teach you how to farm. He will give you a Cheap Hoe, Cheap Watering Can and 1 bag of Turnip Seeds. If you wish to do any farm work, do so before you water the Turnip Seeds. It is a good idea to collect everything from the ground that you can and to hoe at least ten squares as Vishnal will give you 9 more bags of Turnip Seeds after you water the square with the first bag.
Vishnal will tell you to see Venti. You will not be able to return to your room until you do, although you will be able to farm more. At this point, however, farming labour reduces RP and for some reason, HP was reduced a little when he began.
Search for Turnips in the front left corner of the General Store. Search for Chocolate on the right front corner of the top floor of the Inn and Rice on the left right corner. Speak to Porcoline, ask for a Cooking Tool and he will give you a free one as well as recipe for Onigiri. Pick up the Simple Cooking Tool and take it home. Use the Rice you found to make Onigiri.
If you try to leave town, you will have a scene with Forte. Tell her you don't have a weapon with Return on it and she will give you a Claymore.
'When the enemys strength overwhelms you, gaze upon the trophy in the castle basement.'
She will give you some bread as well.
If you go into the Forest and enter the northern glade, you will find a Chest containing Small Shield. on the next screen, a chest containing 3 Recovery Potions.
In the furthest glade before the final save point in Yokmir Forest, I found two chests. One contained three Turnip Seeds.
I then went through to defeat Ambrosia. First day of game.
Found a rAdish and a Potato in Chests. Shipped them.
Was able to jump off the path and go below to find a Chest containing more than 3600 Gold and another with Potions. Not strong enough to fight any monsters in the cave yet though.
3 Spring: The next request is 'how to place furniture' and you will be given a Storage Box. The Reward though is the Calendar.
You cannot take another request, although the next one is Chopping Lumber.
If you go to Orders, you will find EZ Cooking Licence for 100 pp.
Or New Backpack: 500 pp.
Down by the water, a Chest containing Leather Boots (Yokmir /forest)
Forte, accompanying me, gives me Hot Milk after I have a bath.
4 Spring:
Today, Porcoline has refrigerators.
500G, Lumber 30
After I made a shipment for a request, Potato and Spinach Seeds added to Market.
6 Spring: Cooking Festival. With the best he had to offer a Bamboo Rice, he could not get more than 103 points. Stupidly, Frey bought a Cheap Fishing Pole at Bado's shop.
7 Spring: Ironically, today's requrests included a Fishing Request from Vishnal wherein he provided Frey with a Cheap Fishing Pole. The next request was to build a Monster Barn and the reward was a brush. Frey had built one the previous day but hadn't had the money to buy a Brush, so this was lucky for him.
For some reason, today was the day of the event of the Cursed voice that unlocks the next dungeon area.
You have to purchase Bado's Accessories 'Shop' option to get the Airship Licence to appear.
When you first explore the new area, you should find four chests containing a Dash skill and a total of 8 Toyherb Seeds and 4 Turnip Seeds.
Three chests in a glade: one contains Iron and 1 Bronze, one contains 4 or 5 Recovery Potions and the other contained a Spear and an Iron Shield. Must see if the contents are random or not.
When you first reach the Water Ruins, there is a little event wherein you will state that this definitely is the source of the voices. When you first enter the actual building, another event. You'll attempt to read the tablet in vain, monsters will appear and then Doug will appear suddenly to defeat the Monsters. He then will give you Fireball.
he then says: One more thing before I leave. You'd better not be committed to that fool.'
Obviously this is the first clue of his emnity towards Venti.
Monday, 8 Spring:
I befriended two Monsters and sent them to the Barn but could not put any fodder for them as did not have a Fodder Box. I had taken two Requests as well so could not take the next one that would give me the Fodder Box.
Today I was able to take the 'Befriend Monsters' REquest that gave me a Fodder Box. Got 6 Fodder as well. The Cluckadoodle gave no Egg today but the Cow had because I tamed him last night and they give one prize immediately. By tomorrow, I hope both will produce as the Box is in place.
Can take a second Request today. The ones available are:
Make a Fertiliser Bin
Befriend an Item Monster
Harvest Toyherb
More seeds available at shop
Harvest Potato
More seeds available at shop
Can't harvest a Potato yet as they are not ripe. Don't need the Clippers as I have some as a Trophy from a Wooly. So it's either the Fertiliser Bin or the Toyherb.
I did the Toyherb, bringing Moondrop and Pink Cat Seeds ot the Carnation Shop.
Vishnal: Lady Veniswill loves a nice Eggplant, no? Let's see... I think she alwso has a soft spot for a good Green Pepper.
I got the Airship Licence for 300 pp instead of the Pro Cooking mfor 500 pp.
I don't think the Forge Licence will appear until I get the Pro Cooking though.
Margaret today: Hmm... what should I give Lady Ventiswill as an offering? Would fruit work?
Is it her birthday? She accepted a Mushroom from me, but said nothing special. Anyway, her birthday supposedly is 4 Spring, so what is going on today???
10 Spring:
After completing the requests to use Fertiliser (netting a Fertiliser Bin) and to mine Iron, Eliza announced that I will be able to complete up to three requests per day beginning tomorrow.
When I visit Bado today, he tells me it is about time that I learn to forge and tells me I can purchase a forge for 3000 Gold, 30 Lumber and 25 Stone. Alas, but I spent my gold on a Steamer this morning!
10 Spring:
Found my first Invisible Stone in one of the rocks to the north of the Summer Field. I have opened all areas of the Water Ruins but know that once I fight Doug, I cannot raise his friendship level further until the game is done... so what should I do now? My character is male, so it is not as significant as it would be were I to wish to court him as a girl.
11 Spring:
200 pp for the Forge Licence.
New Seeds after I completed the Requests to ship Potato and to ship 20 Turnips are Radish and Pink Turnip.
Bought the Forge. All Cheap Tool Recipes included as well as Broadsword, Claymore, Spear and so on...
It was as much as my life was worth to gain 2nd place in the stupid flying Failed Dish contest. I then went into the forst, threw a piece of Iron at a Wooly by mistake and thereby tamed it!!!! Never expected ore would tame a Wooly.
Vishnal: I decided to make a Vishnal Special Cake to give to Clorica for her birthday this year.
My choices:
Is it edible?
Does it taste okay?
Have you tried it?
Vishnal: Of course i tasted it. Goodness, you don't trust me, do you? Just you watch! Clorica will be so happy... tears will cascade down her face like a waterfall!
12 Spring: Gave Clorica a gift...
Had to decide whether or not to push on to the next dungeon. People aren't at high friendship levels yet, including Venti who will fall asleep soon if I keep finding the Earthmates but I am weary of not having decent ore. So I fought the horse and brought Dylas to the village.
In the morning, walk toward the clinci for an event.
Frey outside the clinic: I wonder... if he's okay.
Nancy: Frey. Have you come to visit him?
Frey: Ah yes, I have.
Nancy: You're such a kind soul. I htink he's still sleeping.. Wait here. I 'll go check on him for you.
She goes inside and then rushes out again.
Nancy: Frey!
Frey: What's wrong?!
Nancy: He's supposed to be sleeping in bed right now. But... he's gone! He's too injured to have gone far, though, so he should still be around here somewhere.
Frey; All right. Let's se if we can find him.
Nancy: Right!
When you go to the plaza, a flash of light and:
Frey: What was that light...?
Took the Cooking Request and after that, the Forge Request appeared. The Weapon request then appeared and I took that. Reward may have been the 3 Iron and 1 Bronze. I think the reward for the Forge request was 2 Weapons Bread.
Eliza: I was made from a large tree rooted in the earth. What was it called...? I think it was called 'Sha...' something. I wonder if I can talk because of the earth power held by that tree... Hmm... I guess it doesn't matter.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Did not keep up this journal too well, but when I wanted to log all the initial weapons and accessories for Characters who acocmpany you, I could not do so on 18 Spring because I had to complete the Obsidian Mansion quest...
This took me, of course, to my introduction to Dolce and Pico. While any event is in progress, no one will accompany you. Even after that, I had to keep going because the Chipsqueek took my Venti's Charm. While Venti is 'dying' in her chamber, you have to go to the cave in Yokmir Forest, find the Chipsqueek (who goes to the glade), then fight the Terror Tree for the first time. Note that this is where Doug becomes your enemy as he believes that Venti was responsible for the destruction of his village and the death of all his family members.
So... after that business, you have to go back to the Water Ruins to find the Chimera and fight it in order to obtain the Rune Stone. Now you have to return to the chamber where you found Dylas. You will see where it can be placed and once it has, Runeys as well as Doug will appear.
You will not be able to move forward in the plot now until you go to the Inn. Speak to the Traveler there and he will tell you: When I was wlaking in Selphia Plain, looking for some good treasure, I saw a flower garden. Then I passed the garden to see what was ahead, and there was a bridge blocked by rocks. Seemed awfully suspicious. Got the feeling something real nice was on the other side.
Unfortunately, there will be no progress still until you have spoken to Lin Fa. She has to tell you to FIND this same traveler in the Inn. You can speak to her anywhere, by the way to obtain the lead.
Frey: I heard you have a blue gem.
Treveler: Yeah, listen up! It got it. I had the blue gem right in my hands. It was the most beautiful gem I ever done seen. So I just had a feeling... I knew it was worth something.
Frey: Oh no! Did you sell it?
Traveler: No, I didn't. Sadly, after finally stumblin' on a real treasure, I lost it, just like that! A monster done took it from me!
Frey: A monster... huh?
Traveler: Of course, I ran after it. But it went into a cave... And there were so many monster in there that I couldn't follow it no more... *SIGH* So I just came back with my tears... darned shame, it was.
Frey: can you tell me where that cave was located?
Traveler: Huh? Pass the bridge in the south of Obsidian Mansion and you'll get to Autumn Road. Always autumn there. That's where the cave was. There is a huge stump near the cave so you can use that as a landmark.
NOW when you go there, the rock in front of the bridge will be gone. You will find two chests on the other side of the bridge. One contains 5200 Coins and the other contains 2 Healing Potions. Immediately on the screen to the east is a save point. Go south a few screens, then east to have an Event at the stump. The screen north of the stump has another save point and the entrance to the Cave.
In the cave, hurry north as far as possible, defeat the Monsters in the room with the gates that shut on you and a what's it will appear that allows you to open the area hitherto blocked by a cylinder. East of the cylinder is a chamber where you must defeat all Monsters if you wish to move on. Continue east then to another chamber where the gates lock until you defeat all Monsters, then north. You will be forced to fight monsters in various chambers to clear the path forward, both south and north. Ultimately though you need to go north to find a chamber with stairs. Take the stairs to an empty chamber with a Save point and a lever that creates a teleport cloud that will allow you to return instantly in future.. There is a Rune Flower if you need RP and two crates as well. At the far north of this area is a chamber you must clear and then you will be able to turn a lever there.
You should find your first Rubies in this Cave.
After you defeat the Rafflesia, you will have another Rune Stone that you need to place in Obsidian Mansion. Go through the lake area to the left of the castle to enter the Boss Chamber instantly.
Pico will arrive.
Pico Frey! I finally found you! Ive been looking all over for you!
Frey: What happened?
Pico: Venti woke up!
When you go to Venti, Doug will be there, will accuse her but then will believe in you and give you the Rune Stone. Now you need to find a way to break the gate in front of Leon Karnak, at the moment called Heaven's Gate. The whole town will resolve to help find a solution.
Go to the Bathhouse as early as 6.00 a.m. to experience an Event wherein Barrett tells every one about the Omni Gate spell You will use the spell there and it will knock you out, so you then will declare your intention of going to the Forest of Beginnings yourself Barrett will tell you that Omni Gate can't be used to birng you back once you get there, but then will give you a Returning Ring. He will tell you it can be used only once.
A second game always is better in terms of guide writing than the first. If you are tired of going to the airship to find transport, choose to add Furniture to Blossom's menu. You then can buy a Telecommunicator for 50,000 Gold, 100 Lumber and 70 Stone.
South of the Autumn Road Save Point is a screen with a Chest that contains the Screw Rock spell. The first time you enter the Autumn Field you will find a Treasure Chest contining four bags of Carrot Seeds.
The Request that gives Silver is:
Upgrade Some Armour
Reward: Silver
Ship the Silver instantly. You then should be able to find it for sale from the Gem Merchant. Although his selection is random, I was able to buy Silver for 3600 Gold the same day I shipped it at 8.00 a.m.
Prince or Princess Points are the key to unlocking new options and improvements in your life. There is a little cheat that can be used on a daily basis. Usually, Eliza has a request for shipping a specific Crop and/or shipping a specific Fish every day. Save your game before you access the Board first thing in the morning and if you do not have the Crop or Fish that is requested, simply reload. That Request will change each time you reload if you haven't LOOKED at it yet. You need to accept the Request before 8.00 a.m. in order to complete it that day. You then are free to accept two more Requests usually that day after the Crops ship at 8.00 a.m.
If you take a Request that involves any Character at 6.00 a.m., you probably will not be able to complete it until after 8.00 in any case, as most people will be asleep. Best to take the Crop or Fish Shipment Request FIRST on any given day, then accept another request after the shipment is complete.
Went to Leon KArnak and had to let my Silver Wolf go home before I could enter. Went on and had to fight in all the various places I had visited before, gates in each... then through the coloured sparkles again and again talking about saving Venti and saying goodbye. Went up to the Tower, fought the two guard dogs, then into the tower to fight the robot. It became Leon. Had to give him the spell to return. The credits rolled.
Then:
You... are far too reckless.
Frey: Huh?
What's the use if you don't come back? What point is there?
Ventuswill takes you home. She knew where you were because of the feather Venti's Charm.
More credits...
You need to ask Ventuswill how she is in order to experience an Event wherein Pico demands that she restore Dolce's memory and she then agrees reluctantly to restore all the Guardians' memories. Frey then suggests she acts more casual with the villagers and this occurs ultimately but not until Leon advises you to go to the villagers and persuade them to treat the dragon more casually. As with many of the events in RF4, it is repetitive and long. I therefore did not have the energy to log all the dialogue, even though I went through it twice as I intended to log it at one point... ah well, my energies fail me.
I need to see if the Sechs invasion will begin without this event, but I somehow doubt it. With this event on 30 Spring, I didn't get the invasion until 5 Summer. I should have triggered it immediately after rescuing Leon!
Found Cure All and Big Fire in Delirium Lava Ruins. Runey Day on 30 Spring.
3 Summer: You have to purchase the Clothing Shop in the forest before the Fish Merchant will appear I believe. It is not a matter of how many fish you have shipped in my opinion but simply doing that, and the option will appear a day later. It costs 2000 P.Points for the Fish Merchant. The Gem Merchant and the Fish Merchant are two of the best and most useful options in the game. You must ship an item before the Merchant will sell it (randomly) but the Menu will change in the course of the day. Raven's Menu changes as well.
I thought the Sechs soldiers would appear on 3 Summer, but they didn't so there must be something random about the event, even when all requirements are met... slept through three days to see before it triggered on 6 Summer... I expect if I do it again, it may not. Truly, it triggered the next time on 5 Summer. How annoying!
i had forgotten but you need to go up Leon Karnak and defeat all the Goblin Dons at the top to reveal a red switch in order to progress at all.
The next event in the plot with respect to the Sechs Empire IS random and can occur actually while a Town Event is going on. I think the events kick in at midnight. When I kept playing after midnight on other days, the Event did not trigger, so this time, knowing that the event could trigger the next morning, I simply went to bed before midnight and lo and behold, it did.
What happens here is that you go out of the main exit from the Plaza and you hear a voice. Return and find a Sechs Soldier in a confrontation with Doug and Forte. The soldier will tell Doug he is not doing his job as a spy. Blossom arrives to defend his honour and the soldier smites her. Doug and Forte both react but do not make much of an impact. The soldier addresses you and tells you that he is responsible for you being pushed out of the airship, then uses OmniGate and beocmea a dragon.
I can release you all from your sadness! Etherlink! I can send you to the Great Beyond! Bwa ha ha ha! Let me warn you... that I have no intention of going easy on you!
Forte: What was that?
Frey: A person and a dragon! And I thought only the Earthmates could use Omni Gate! There's no time to waste! Blossom!
Blossom: Wh-what is it?
Frey: Move somewhere safe with Doug!
Blossom: O-Okay!
Doug: Granny Blossom... hold onto me.
Blossom: What are you saying with all those injuries?
Doug: Just listen to me! This is the least... that I can do!
Doug then leaves with Blossom and the Dragon makes all sorts of gloating sounds.
I was armed sadly with a Hammer from the night before, but soon swapped it for the Invisiblade, and defeated it with the help of Argent and Forte.
Soldier; DAMN IT!!! I'll get you for this!
The Soldier rushes off and Blossom and Doug reappear.
Doug now knows definitively that it was the Sechs who killed his family and destroyed his town. He wants to apologise to Venti but Blossom insists that she take him to the clinic. Forte says she will inform the village and that you see Venti, but you are able to save your game first.
If I go to the Airship, I see the next bit of the Horse Town Event. Mounted Knight business.
After this, speak to Venti. You will find her slumped in her chamber... tell her you intend to regain the Rune Spheres and after some argument, she will let you go. Now visit the Clinic where Doug was carried by Blossom for treatment of his injuries. He will tell you of a cave in an area where it is forever Spring, south of the Water Ruins. Go South then West. You can see the opening on the map but you will not be able to take the path from the area that is all the way directly south from the Water Ruins. Instead, one up, go West, then south and you will experience a little Event.
This is south of the Water Ruins, right? Should be around here, somewhere. Where could it be though? I can't seem to find it anywhere!
Visnal appears: (Leave it to me!) I'll get rid of those pesky trees! This is the mission to which I've been assigned.
He clears the path to the West.
Vishnal: You should be good to go now.
Frey: I saw Mr. Volkanon do the same thing you did. Is that something all butlers are trained for?
Vishnal: Yes.
Go West, cross the bridge and the music will change. You will be in the Sercerezo Hill area.
If you go south, then East across another bridge, then south again, you will find a Hammer strike skill and then, going West one screen, a tree that gives the Crystal Seeds by season. In summer, it is Green Crystals.
Today is the 5th, the last day of the season to find the Demon's Den... but I did and fought him. He was quite funny, saying he was determined to make me his 'bride' even after I told him I was a man... Got Dungeon Seed, Raccoon Leaf and Curry Udon when I defeated him.
When you reach Idra Cave, there will be a little event wherein you will hide behind a boulder while two soldiers talk and then enter.
Finished the Legendary Knight Town Event. Went to Idris Cave and found my first Gold Ore as well as Mediparalyse after walking through the wall that leads south after going east a few screens.
In the cave, the way to the switches is by defeating all Monsters in the chamber. Flames will die once you have done that in one chamber, allowing access to the switch. In another, a teleport will appear and you will be able to use the switch, then use another teleport to get back to the main part of the chamber.
